hearing aids

Hearing aids are small devices that are worn in or behind the ear. They amplify sounds, making it easier to hear. A hearing care professional can help you find the right device and adjust it correctly so that you can actively participate in social life again and maintain your independence.

cochlear implants

For people with severe hearing loss, cochlear implants may be an option. These devices bypass the damaged parts of the hearing organ and stimulate the auditory nerve directly. 

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)

ALDs are devices that make everyday life easier and safer for people with hearing loss, such as special telephone amplifiers and alarms.

TV hearing amplifier

TV hearing amplifiers such as the OSKAR from faller audio are a great addition to a hearing aid. The portable speaker with special dialogue optimization brings speech-optimized TV sound directly to the listening position for older people and those with hearing impairments. It filters out background noise so that speech on television can be understood more easily.

How our free online hearing test works

Below, you can easily take our online hearing test yourself. First, we will ask you a few general questions about hearing, which will enable us to make an initial assessment.

The second step is the audio hearing test. Once you have adjusted your speakers or headphones to the appropriate volume, you can play various audio samples. A speaker will say numbers while background noise can be heard. We will then ask you to enter the number you heard.

We recommend that you take the online hearing test in a quiet environment without any additional background noise, preferably using headphones that fit your ears well. If you don't have headphones to hand, you can also take the test using the speakers on your computer, tablet, or cell phone.

At the end of the online hearing test, you will receive an evaluation from us with corresponding assessments and recommendations, such as the recommendation to have a hearing test carried out by a professional hearing care professional or a doctor.

Find out now how good your hearing is. We hope you enjoy the free online hearing test.
